Customer Reviews Frye Harness 8R W

I used to own these in 12R but had to get rid of them because my feet grew. I was hoping these would be as great as the pair I had to get rid of but they just didn't work out. They put pressure on the top of my foot (the bone on thee top) and was really uncomfortable. Sad! I wanted these to work! Even though the weather was horrible, I received these boots on a day when all state offices and schools were closed due to ice. Impressed!

I loved these boot, but they didn't fit b/c the ankle part is wide. I have a narrow heel and average forefoot so, my heel slipped out even with the heel being fitted.

I love these boots which is why I put so much effort in making them work. Knowing that Frye boots always run large foe me, I ordered them a half size smaller. If it were possible, I would have ordered them a full size smaller but 5 1/2 was the smallest size available. I ended up using insoles and heel pads to minimize the slippage which helped. I wore them around the house for a week and my feet finally acclimated to them. Called Frye and the told me there will always be some heel slippage with pull on styles. The boots are incredibly well made. Thanks Zappos for the amazing service.

I just got these long wished for boots for Christmas. One was so comfortable even on the first "try on", but the other is a little tight at the bunion! I want these to stretch, but I'm not sure if they will. The size is extremely accurate and I've never had a shoe or boot fit so perfectly in the heel. The leather is very high quality and I am thrilled for the rubber sole. They smell wonderful!

Frye Harness Boots - These are very good looking boots, very comfortable and easy to break in. I wore them the first time and they were great, no blisters or sore spots, which is pretty great. The only reason I didn't give them five stars is they do fit a bit loose in the heel so you have to try different socks to remedy that. You should definitely order a 1/2 size down from your regular size.

Cool boots!! These boots are classic cool! I tried a couple of different sizes because they have narrow fit across the front of the boot (the top of the ball of my foot & across) but the heel has a bit of room - I ended up keeping my true size. They are comfortable with thin socks and despite the room in the heel; there is no friction/blisters. They look great and are built for pounding the pavement in style.

Runs long and narrow - After trying seven other pairs of Frye boots in both women's and men’s, I finally found a pair that fit. This wasn't it. I did have to order down a full size for length in the women's (as Frye recommends), but the width at the ball of the foot is torturously narrow. I don't normally have to wear wide sizes! I even tried the men's wide in the 12 R style, and found it to run medium, but the calf was too tight. In the end, what worked was the men's 8R in Gaucho (rather than black, which is what I had been trying). I found the different type of leather to make a big difference in comfort. And also, it's partly just a matter of finding the right pair. This is definitely a brand where two pairs of the "same" boot can feel very different.

Just disappointing. For the price I expected a bit more cushioning of the entire footbed as the heel is quite hard. They were snug at the toes to the point that I wouldn't be able to wear winter socks with them but slipped at the heel a bit and the actual opening at the top looked full on *baggy* at my ankle. I don't think I have super skinny ankles, they're just SO wide at the top.

I wanted to love these, but the heel slips so badly I can’t wear them. I have a medium to wide foot and they ran narrow but I think with time that part would’ve been ok. But the heel slip was too much, so they’re going back.

Narrow and heavy

Very heavy in weight. The top of the boot is huge. Could fit two of my lower legs side by side into the top of the boot. Leather is a little unsubstantial and floppy. Going to return.

I was somewhat disappointed. The boots are not very comfortable and they are very narrow in toe area (and I have very narrow feet).
